Well sure it all costs money we'll see if folks think it costs nearly $1000. If it including riding gear in the proper size maybe but I think you might be a bit high for what is basically a used scooter. Hope you get all your asking...

Most 50cc scoots are sold with PDI done, for under $600. I can even get an EVO150, with PDI done for $900 delivered at my door.

Price is a tad high.... Here I can get a 50 with riding gear from craigslist for 600 or 700. 50's just are not worth much in my neck of the woods unless they are 2t's. , I can get a 150 with under 1000 miles on it for 700 or 800. And I have at least three places in town where I can get parts. PDI... consists of brake fluid change, gearbox oil change, oil change, about 10 dollars in vacuum and fuel lines, spark plug, belt inspection to make sure they didn't put some real junk in the CVT case. going over nuts and bolts and maybe (If I was doing my own) a carb re-jet, and a fuse holder. Maybe 2 or 3 hours of work. Did I leave anything out guys? Maybe 40 dollars in assorted fluids and odd parts. another 30 to upgrade the belt. PDI at the most should cost 200 bucks and most of the dealers that do the PDI charge like 65 and some even include it in the cost of the scooter. I'd charge 200 in my shop, but that's because, I can't roll it into the cost of a scooter as a dealer can.
I'm not trying to be, unfriendly, Just telling you what you got.

I bought my first 2 bikes from a dealership, used. I eventually learned to uncrate them at a dealer I worked for. I see value in the set-up and pdi but most young folks only see the money. A good thorough pdi is important but is probably only worth $200 if done by an unknown uncertified shop. Yes it costs money to properly set-up a shop but a customer doesn't expect to pay for the whole shop. Dealer fees total $1000 at my local Vespa shop and that includes shipping a warranty and the first service. They Charge the same fee for their Genuine, Kymco, Sym, and Royal Enfield's. I would expect a lot more than a pdi for that much money. I have had questions about scooters and they have all been answered in minutes usually, on different forums. All you really need anymore is determination. When I was first starting out 20 years ago I got to know a local shop well and read everything I could find it is far easier today...

In Missouri a 49cc scooter is considered a motorized bicycle- so there is no registering nor insuring. I have to agree, $1400 is steep when you can get a new 49cc scooter for half that price.

Hi
Its is on the high side
I can go and get brandnew Puma Cycles 50 cc scoot from a B&M dealership out the dooor for under $1,200
Same thing with Bintellis scoots
Both Puma and Bintellis are manufactured by ZNEN and are of excellent quality
So i do hope you get your asking price for but you may want to have slightly lower expections
Take care and ride safely
Yours Hank
